Holy Hell. I just got my first Alt today, Alt Rollbar (thanks, fitfreak!). Wow, these figures are amazing.

Any Alternators I should be on the lookout for? I'm totally going to try to get more.

Shockwave, Jazz with the G1 Reprolabels, Hound, Mirage, Tracks, Wheeljack are my favs.

The Ratchet Jeep in my avatar is a personal fav.

Oh wow... Sweet.... =P~

by **Jazzz** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 4:09 am

All the ones that that guy said.
though I would rather get Meister(Jazz) instead of Shockblast(Shockwave). I don't like having two of the same alt mode and I like the white more than the dark purple.
I also like the Walmart exclusive Rumble and Ravage.
And Sunstreaker/Dead End and Decepticharge.

You GOTTA have at least 1 of each of these molds.

-Shockblast/Meister - Mazda RX8

-Mirage/Rodimus - Ford GT

-Wheeljack/Grimlock - Mustang GT

-Windcharger/Decepticharge - Honda S2000

-Prowl/Camshaft - Acura RSX

-Sideswipe/Dead End - Viper

-Skids/Broadblast - Scion xB(yes, the stupid scion is an AWESOME figure)

Some of the Binaltechs(japanese die cast versions) have different names. Like Shockblast is called "Laserwave."

Windcharger is "Overdrive."

Sideswipe is "Lambor."

Don't let the names screw with your head!

Sunstreaker blows, so if you get him 1st ... don't judge all of the Vipers based on him.

Ditto, especially with the Mirage/Rodimus mold.

Can't forget Alternator Ravage (Jaguar)

by **Spalah** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 4:27 am

Smokescreen,Rodimus Kiss Player and Whelljack.

by **Spalah** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 4:31 am

And Jazz,Hound,Windcharcher

there are some that AlienQuikSilver forgot to mention

Smokescreen/Red Alert--Subaru STI

Silverstreak/Ricochet--Subaru WRX

In Japan, Red Alert is simply known as Alert.

Dude Those are freakin sweet. I love Ratchet. Did you sculpt those heads or are those from a different japanese figure or something.

You're better off buying them all. Once you start, you just can't stop!

by **lilgreenlude93** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:43 pm

You're right with that. I got most of my in retail and was missing a few. Had to get those on ebay, I'm still missing one...Rollbar! I kept seeing him everywhere and just never picked him up. Now he's no where to be found.

by **PrimeSuspect** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 1:31 pm

^ lulz at the fact that the first Alternator I get is the one you can't find.

Good luck finding him, though. I'm gonna go look on eBay and see what I can find, I want more of these guys.

Thanks.
The heads are custom made & perfect fitting for these. A very talented guy named Valkfan on the boards here makes and sells them.

I still need to paint the blue parts on Ironhide yet but other than that these are fairly painless kitbashes that require little or no painting outside of the heads themselves.

I have a LOT more pics in the original thread I started about these 2 guys a few months back, here is that thread:

The RX-8 Mold is pretty good.

I really like Dodge Viper,The Scion,RSX and the Z06 Molds are also good molds.

Does he cast those heads are they just customized over and existing mold.

Forgive me for so many question but I find these custom highly desirable

I have given up in trying find a decant priced Swerve. In terms of the Autobots, I am missing Blaster, Grimlock, and Rollbar. So, I have gotten my fair share of the line.

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 3:15 pm

As of right now, I still need:

Sideswipe- Found one, but need to get the dough together before someone else buys it!

Skids

Prowl

Meister

Mirage- he's coming this week though, so

Smokescreen

Once I have them all, I'll be so happy. This is my favourite line since, well, ever.
